PUMA DVR is a small body worn digital video and audio recorder for law enforcement

The Evidence Speaks for itself
For good reason, law enforcement agencies are embracing video technology as the future of policing. In-car video has become a valuable tool benefiting officers, agencies, and the communities they serve. However, the majority of what police do is away from the car.
Mobile Video and Audio Recorder
PUMA DVR is a small body worn digital video and audio recorder for law enforcement and is the latest addition to the PUMA line-up.
Designed for Police Officers
With the press of a single button, officers can easily activate the PUMA DVR which provides up to 2 hours of seamless, 30 FPS video and crystal clear audio on a single charge of the built-in Li-ion Battery. All this in a device that easily fits in a uniform pocket.
Easy to use
After recording, your PUMA DVR is simple to download to your PC via Micro SD card reader or supplied USB cable and your video can easily be viewed on any Windows Media Player.

Building the case for mobile video recorders

Record video and audio evidence where ever you go
Mobile video provides the benefits of an in-car video system in your uniform pocket. It can be used to record an officer approaching or entering a resident or building and what transpires. It can record what and officer sees inside a car while talking to the driver. It can record the events that lead up to an arrest and most importantly it can record what an officer saw that caused him to pull his weapon.
Protecting officers and agencies
Video evidence can protect agencies against false accusations. In most cases, once the complainant is made aware that the stop or contact was recorded, the complaint is withdrawn. And a significant amount of time is saved in conducting investigations of frivolous personnel complaints when a videotape of the incident is available.
Increased Successful Prosecutions
Prosecutors have rated video evidence as an effective tool in successful prosecutions. According to prosecutors, the greatest value of video evidence is its ability to refresh the officer’s memory on the facts, circumstances and sequence of events. The video evidence also serves to verify the accuracy of written reports and statements surrounding the incident. Video evidence also reduces court time for officers because defendants are unwilling to dispute charges when faced with taped evidence.
